Classic Poem

Stealing from the world away,
We are come to seek thy face;
Kindly meet us, Lord, we pray,
Grant us thy reviving grace.

Yonder stars that gild the sky,
Shine but with a borrowed light;
We, unless thy light be nigh,
Wander, wrapt in gloomy night.

Sun of righteousness! dispel
All our darkness, doubts, and fears;
May thy light within us dwell,
Till eternal day appears.

Warm our hearts in prayer and praise,
Lift our every thought above;
Hear the grateful songs we raise,
Fill us with thy perfect love.
